This is it; it’s time. The Reuben Ranger in its current form
will ride off into the proverbial blog sunset. “Thus far you shall come, but no farther”
This blog started for a very specific reason - things in
life were horrible (medulloblastoma). Sauerkraut, corned beef, and Celexa helped me dig
out of the rut. Slowly things got less horrible. Moving back to Texas was a new
beginning for the family. Things have been better now, much better, and it is
time to shake things up.
This is not a decision I took lightly. Things are different now.
I spend my weekends coaching Danny’s soccer team or taking him to swim lessons.
It has been five months since I last posted an entry and that might be a good
thing. Life has gotten in the way and gently nudged the blog onto the
back-burner.
This is not to say the blog is dead; it is just changing
form. The last entry was LIV (Live!) and the Reuben kicks off the new era with
LV (Love!) The Reuben Ranger will evolve to post submissions from you, the
fans. My friends and family have been sending me pictures of Reubens for the
last five years. Keep it up! (I will
start posting in this form as well). With the picture of the Reuben send in a
simple review of 1 to 5 stars and up to 140 characters. (I know Twitter just
upped the character count but the challenge is to be concise. I would have
written a shorter blog post if I had more time.) So this is just adios and not
goodbye.
Here is an example from the last Reuben I had
Sandwich Corner Reuben (PSM) ****
Beautiful presentation, ratio off (too much kraut not enough
corned beef). Perfectly grilled, great flavor
